00:01:00.160 Democrat Senate candidates suffer major sex scandals this weekend. 0.97

00:01:04.160 Graham Plattner up in Maine gets caught sexting a bunch of chicks on some creepy perv app. 0.97

00:01:08.380 And James Tallarico down in Texas gets caught not being gay, allegedly. 0.93

00:01:14.560 There's a news story about his girlfriend.

00:01:16.240 I have questions still.

00:01:17.660 Then the UK bans left-wing streamer Hassan Piker,

00:01:21.140 coincidentally, just as I prepare to fly out to the motherland for a debate at the Oxford Union.

00:01:27.280 Piker was reportedly banned for anti-Semitic comments, meaning that this issue has something

00:01:33.420 to get everyone riled up. Israel, censorship. If it included a transvestite, we would have

00:01:39.720 the trifecta. Finally, Democrat Congress ladies make a federal issue whining that they should be 1.00

00:01:45.820 allowed to skip work when they are menstruating. I, for one, think that their proposed legislation 0.99

00:01:52.020 does not go nearly far enough. Not only do I think Democrat Congress ladies should stay home 0.54

00:01:57.420 from work five days per month, I think they should stay home the other 25 days too. How's 1.00

00:02:02.580 that for bipartisanship? I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:40.620 Democrats over his daughter's murder. Now there is some very important legislation on the table.

00:02:44.280 I cannot believe that Republicans haven't jumped on this already. There's a lot more to say first,

00:02:49.100 though, go to ethos.com slash Knowles, E-T-H-O-S.com slash Knowles. One of the defining characteristics

00:02:54.640 of maturity is taking responsibility for things before they become urgent. People talk about

00:03:00.660 getting married. They talk about having children. They talk about building a career. They spend a

00:03:03.860 lot less time talking about what it means to prepare for the unexpected. So one of the realities

00:03:10.240 of family life is that there are certain things you hope never become important. Life insurance

00:03:15.280 is one of them. You buy it because the people who depend on you matter more than your own comfort or

00:03:19.980 convenience. That is one reason people are turning to Ethos. Ethos makes getting life insurance fast

00:03:24.620 and easy entirely online. You can get a quote in seconds, apply in minutes, and potentially get

00:03:28.960 same-day coverage. No medical exam. You just answer a few simple health questions online.

00:03:33.340 You get up to $3 million in coverage with some policies starting as low as $30 a month. This

00:03:38.540 is one of those things people just put off and say, I don't want to do it. I don't want to deal

00:03:41.700 with it. Folks, it takes 10 minutes to get covered today with life insurance through Ethos. Just do

00:03:47.580 it. You'll sleep easier. You don't even realize the stress this is causing you. Get your free

00:03:57.140 times may vary. Rates may vary as well. Before we get to the scandal of James Tallarico

00:04:02.620 maybe not being gay to start off Pride Month, I want to get to the bigger Democrat scandal right

00:04:08.460 Now, Graham Plattner, I haven't covered Graham Plattner that much.

00:04:11.880 Graham Plattner up in Maine.

00:04:13.420 He's the Democrat Senate candidate who's a little rough around the edges.

00:04:17.160 He has a neo-Nazi tattoo on his chest.

00:04:19.640 He has the actual version of the fake thing they accused Pete Hegseth of during his Senate confirmation hearings.

00:04:26.640 He has a neo-Nazi tattoo on his chest.

00:04:29.140 He's got a very colorful personal life.

00:04:31.340 He's threatened all sorts of people, including American servicemen.

00:04:34.160 he's said all sorts of nasty terrible things about women and other races and also he's been

00:04:40.540 caught sexting a bunch of chicks even though he's married so this according to the wall street

00:04:46.020 journal big big story here graham platner's wife flagged the sexually explicit texts to his senate

00:04:53.300 campaign subheader wife of the main democratic senate candidate last year told the campaign

00:04:58.880 about texts she had found between Plattner and other women. Very, very sad story.

00:05:04.640 It's not just being reported in the Wall Street Journal, it's being reported in the New York

00:05:08.040 Times. There were some claims that Graham Plattner had been sexting about a dozen women.

00:05:13.960 And you know it's a rough situation for the campaign when the campaign's official response

00:05:19.960 is that he was only sexting half a dozen women. That's their excuse. That's their denial. No,

00:05:26.760 no, no. He wasn't actively sexting a dozen women recently. It was really more like six.

00:05:32.980 On top of that, it seems that Graham Plattner has a profile, an active current profile on a

00:05:39.780 website called Kik. I don't really know anything about Kik, the app or the website or whatever.

00:05:45.500 But according to Daily Wire's own Brent Sher, who is posting this full story from Tim Rice here,

00:05:51.480 also at DW. Kick is known as a, quote, predator's paradise. It is known as being a hotbed for child

00:05:59.460 pornography, kidnapping, and sexual abuse. This, the Democrat Senate candidate in Maine, 0.96

00:06:06.280 and one of the Democrat darlings nationwide. Really bad stuff. So as all of these scandals

00:06:13.360 are breaking, Graham Plattner's first crisis PR response is to send his wife out to fly cover for

00:06:20.080 him no marriage is perfect and i i don't want a perfect marriage i want my marriage and i want

00:06:31.200 to be married to graham sorry black flies um i knew the man that i married is

00:06:39.120 wonderful and dynamic and probably a genius i knew the man that i married had been through

00:06:47.600 an immense amount of violent, active combat. And he's been in therapy for years. I admire the

00:07:01.260 out of him. Okay, this is a very long video. We won't subject this poor woman to playing the

00:07:06.480 whole thing. The scandal itself is bad. It's not uncommon among politicians. Politicians have sex 0.91

00:07:13.960 scandals all the time. It's not uncommon. It's bad, though. It's bad to be caught sexting

00:07:19.000 half a dozen women and having an active profile on some particularly pervy app with videos of

00:07:25.020 kidnapping and child pornography and all the rest. That's quite bad. It's somehow almost worse

00:07:32.940 to be caught in this kind of scandal and then send your wife out alone to give the first response.

00:07:41.240 this woman who you've wronged to then send her out to fly PR for you and say, oh, no,

00:07:46.900 he's a genius and I love him and he's great. And it ups the scumbag quotient on the scandal 0.98

00:07:55.700 by orders of magnitude. It's so, so bad. So awful to do. It's one thing to have the sex scandal. 0.99

00:08:02.280 That's really bad enough. But then to exploit the woman who you have wronged, hide behind her

00:08:09.040 like a human shield, real scummy stuff. Not all the women who are around Graham Plattner are

00:08:16.280 buying it. In fact, his political director, who quit in disgust from his campaign, Genevieve

00:08:21.540 McDonald, then posts this. There's some details missing from this story. I hope it will be

00:08:26.040 updated. The Wall Street Journal called me Friday morning to tell me they were running a story they

00:08:29.380 had verified through multiple sources. I had spoken with them months ago off the record,

00:08:33.100 so it was a courtesy call. I'd probably still get some blowback. After Wall Street Journal

00:08:37.460 reached out to the Plattner campaign for comment, Morris Katz demanded that I guess who works on

00:08:42.460 the campaign, demanded that I call the Wall Street Journal, retract my comments, tell them

00:08:46.460 their reporting was inaccurate, and send him a recording of the call. When I refused to lie for

00:08:52.040 the Plattner campaign, this is the campaign that this woman worked for until pretty recently at a 0.92

00:08:55.980 high level. When I refused to lie for the Plattner campaign, he sent this text, quote,

00:08:59.700 just want to be clear on where we are right now. If the story goes in its current iteration,

00:09:03.240 we will communicate directly on the record and by name that Genevieve violated the personal trust

00:09:07.000 of Amy and Graham. Notice they put the poor wife first still. The whole campaign is hiding behind 0.97

00:09:11.800 the wife. Amy and Graham and shared explicit falsehoods to sabotage the campaign. So I went

00:09:17.540 on record with the New York Times. There's a New York Times story on this as well. That's all the

00:09:23.400 sex scandal stuff. And then just the violation of the marriage, not even the infidelity, but

00:09:27.840 the violation of the trust of the marriage to put the wife out there first. That on top of the fact, 0.55

00:09:32.100 we keep almost overlooking it at this point. The guy had a Nazi tattoo on his chest. And it's not

00:09:37.240 just that he got drunk years ago and he got this tattoo, but then he reformed. He used to be this

00:09:42.480 radical neo-Nazi, but then he totally reformed. No, no, no, no, no. He only got the tattoo covered

00:09:47.500 up last year. He only got the tattoo covered up when he decided he was going to run for Senate.

00:09:52.720 So that's all the context of the scandal. The part that I haven't really seen too many people

00:09:57.340 talking about, but this is the obvious part to me, looking at this from a purely political lens

00:10:01.760 having spent a little bit of time working on political campaigns in my early life.

00:10:06.880 Where are the attacks coming from? I see all these right-wingers. They're jumping on board.

00:10:11.000 They're excited. I'm doing it a little myself. It's really fun to dunk on Graham Plattner.

00:10:16.580 Do you really think these attacks are originating from the right? Notice where the attacks coming

00:10:22.700 from. They're coming from the New York Times, left-wing paper. They're coming from the Wall

00:10:28.020 Street Journal news division, not the editorial page. The editorial page is somewhat conservative.

00:10:33.280 The news division is liberal, just like all the other newspapers.

00:10:36.640 They're coming from a liberal Democrat operative who worked on the Plattner campaign.

00:10:42.620 There are multiple stories. There was a story I was meaning to get to for a while now. I don't

00:10:48.280 even know. Do I have the printed version? No, I don't. I've been meaning to get to this for a week

00:10:52.180 to, the New York Times was already sending out warnings about the Plattner campaign. This was

00:10:58.680 weeks ago. This is the left doing damage control. This is Democrat elites realizing that Plattner

00:11:06.200 might not go the distance. He's just got too much baggage. And so, crucially, when is the primary?

00:11:12.920 Primary hasn't happened yet. The primary is June 9th. We're now eight days away from the primary.

00:11:18.900 and according to the election rules in Maine, there are ways out of it for the Democrats.

00:11:24.040 The Democrats could replace him right now if they wanted to.

00:11:27.880 This is a Democrat op, I think. I think the Democrats are getting cold feet on Plattner

00:11:34.360 and they want him out. And they are using Republicans. They're then teeing up the

00:11:38.700 Republicans to gin up all of this outrage to give them an excuse to replace their candidate

00:11:42.640 with a candidate who's more likely to win in November. That's what I think is going on.

00:11:46.180 and they're doing it very very well they're very well it's a smart move if i were a democrat

00:11:52.300 operative right now i'd be doing the same thing but republicans should not view this necessarily

00:11:58.820 as a win i want graham platner on the ballot in november i want i want republicans to run

00:12:04.500 against graham platner he is a weak candidate he's going to go down in flames he's a disaster

00:12:09.280 i do not want to give the democrats the opportunity to swap him out when you're analyzing

00:12:15.180 political operations. Just full stop, period. When you're analyzing something that's going on

00:12:22.040 in politics, the first question you have to ask yourself is nice little Latin phrase,

00:12:27.660 cui bono. Who benefits? Who benefits? When any political operation is going on, just say, hold on,

00:12:38.200 will the result of this operation be to benefit my side or to hurt my side? In the case of this,

00:12:43.480 the Plattner expose, it will hurt Republicans. It will help Democrats if he goes down in flames

00:12:51.480 right now and the Democrats can replace him with a good candidate. Basic rule in politics as in war.

00:12:57.560 What does your opponent want you to do? You probably shouldn't do that. You should probably

00:13:02.000 do the opposite. It's funny. It's great. It's wonderful. Republicans might claim a victory

00:13:06.900 if Plattner goes down before the primary or shortly after, but it will be a pyrrhic victory.

00:13:11.820 i'm i'm gonna i'm leading the charge i'm the director of republicans for platner

00:13:17.120 sign me up where can i i want to go maybe i'll fly up to maine maybe i'll go door to door with

00:13:22.960 petitions i want platner to be the democrat nominee we got to save these scandals guys okay 0.56

00:13:29.620 now speaking of democrat senate sex scandals bigger i i think actually a bigger sex scandal

00:13:34.720 for james tallarico down in texas huge expose over the weekend it turns out james tallarico 0.91

00:13:39.860 might not be gay. There's a lot more to say first, though. Go to AveMariaFunds.com slash

00:13:44.000 Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L. Every dollar you spend is a vote. Most people understand that instinctively

00:13:48.580 until the conversation turns to investing. People spend a lot of time thinking carefully about where

00:13:53.000 they shop, what organizations they support, what causes they contribute to, and what institutions

00:13:57.280 they want to strengthen. Then, when it comes to investing, they're often told none of that

00:14:00.700 matters. I've never found that argument particularly convincing. The reality is that every investment

00:14:05.620 strategy reflects certain priorities and assumptions about the world. The question is whether those

00:14:09.740 priorities are aligned with your own. That's one of the reasons that I have been involved with

00:15:13.240 has this girlfriend, but we didn't know anything about her. He's got this girlfriend. She goes to

00:15:17.380 another school though. No, she goes to a school up in Canada by Niagara Falls. So you probably

00:15:22.580 never heard of her. Well, now we know who the girlfriend is, supposedly. This, according to

00:15:29.060 the New York Post, the girlfriend is a woman named Brianna Menard. Look, I'm a married man.

00:15:34.620 okay, I'm just being objective here. She's a nice looking lady. Nice looking young lady. 1.00

00:15:40.080 She's 30 years old. She describes herself as a committed vegan. Okay, that checks out for

00:15:46.260 a liberal woman. She's a yoga buff, also checks out. She's a cat mom. It's all checks out, right? 1.00

00:15:54.820 Who likes dancing the night away at the local gay bar, Cheer Up Charlie's, according to her

00:16:02.120 biography from the board of a local food co-op. She likes dancing the night away at a local gay 0.90

00:16:09.800 bar. Now, this makes perfect sense to me because good relationships are based on having something

00:16:16.580 in common. So it's nice to hear that Tallarico and his supposed girlfriend, they have something

00:16:21.980 in common. They both check off the same box of likes and dislikes on the dating apps.

00:16:28.380 The pair met when this woman landed a job at Tallarico's office in 2022,

00:16:34.340 though they say they didn't start dating until January of the following year.

00:16:38.400 Now, okay, now my spidey senses are really kicking off here.

00:16:42.780 I initially was sort of joking when I said that James Tallarico was the gay Pete Buttigieg. 0.90

00:16:48.620 I was kind of joking, at least.

00:16:51.020 It was a joke.

00:16:51.660 It might be true, but it's a joke.

00:16:54.380 But then you see all this stuff. 0.97

00:16:55.420 Okay, she's this woman who is just like a super lib woman who loves hanging out with her gay male friends. 0.53

00:17:05.240 And all of a sudden, she's the one who pops out as being his girlfriend. 0.69

00:17:08.340 Okay, well, sometimes plenty of straight women like going to gay bars because they're not being hit on.

00:17:14.540 They don't have to deal with very macho men. 0.94

00:17:16.060 So maybe it could be the case that they're, but then hold on, wait, she works for him too.

00:17:20.780 She's like a literally a Democrat operative. 0.99

00:17:23.400 She's a Democrat operative who loves hanging out with gay guys. 1.00

00:17:27.480 And that's the girlfriend. 0.55

00:17:30.480 This is giving me, again, I don't want to, this has happened with Democrat candidates before.

00:17:37.120 Democrat candidates with political ambitions, higher office ambitions.

00:17:40.460 Again, I don't want to be thrown around accusations.

00:17:43.060 I just want to make an observation.

00:17:45.660 Cory Booker confirmed bachelor into his 50s.

00:17:49.000 when he was running for president, he just coincidentally happens to get the first

00:17:54.880 girlfriend that he seems to have ever had. And the girlfriend is a woman who is specifically

00:18:01.340 associated with gay rights. And I don't, we've seen this, we've just, it seems to me we've heard

00:18:08.840 this song before. The fact that she was actually working for him means she is a Democrat operative

00:18:14.360 and was actually on his payroll. And she's the one they trot out. Okay. But then to me,

00:18:19.700 the knockout punch is what Tallarico says about her. He says, she is my rock. She is my best

00:18:28.140 friend. I don't know if I could have gotten through the last six months of this crazy race 1.00

00:18:32.920 if she hadn't been by my side. This is how gay guys talk about women. Straight guys don't say 1.00

00:18:42.080 this. Generally speaking, straight guys don't say she is she is my rock. She is my best friend.

00:18:51.200 I don't got guys have best friends and they have wives. And at a really deep level, if you have a

00:18:58.540 good marriage, your wife in a deep sense actually is your best friend. But but they are different

00:19:04.000 things. The role of the male best friend and the role of the wife, they're actually different

00:19:09.280 things. And we don't, usually guys don't refer to their wife as their best friend.

00:19:15.460 And certainly they don't refer to their wife as their rock. She is my rock. A wife will refer to

00:19:21.100 her husband as her rock because the husband is supposed to be the one who's really grounded, 0.97

00:19:26.300 really solid, immovable. He's the steadying person in the relationship.

00:19:32.820 you don't this this is really come on my spidey senses are going off i don't know i don't

00:19:42.920 i don't totally but this seems more scandalous to me than the grand platner story okay now

00:19:47.920 let's get to more of the political angle on james tallarico james tallarico has been trotting out

00:19:54.760 this same line now for quite a while he's obviously memorized it here is james tallarico

00:19:58.920 telling an anecdote from the campaign trail on CBS and MSNBC, not only with the same words,

00:20:06.460 but almost with the precise same metering cadence. Well, you know, I've gone to every

00:20:11.200 corner of the state over the course of this campaign, from Beaumont to El Paso, from Amarillo

00:20:17.240 to Brownsville and everywhere in between. And I can't tell you the number of people who come up

00:20:21.900 to me at the end of these events and whisper, I'm not a Democrat, like they're in the witness

00:20:27.500 protection program. Okay, so I'm not going to knock and people are making fun of him for using

00:20:31.600 this exact line robotically verbatim. Politicians do that. You have a stump speech, you have a few

00:20:36.320 lines, you use them, you're talking all the time. I'm not knocking him for that. I'm knocking him

00:20:39.680 for the content of what he's saying. Tallarico's claim is that there are a bunch of disillusioned

00:20:46.960 Republicans who are really enthusiastic about his campaign. That is not true. That does not exist.

00:20:53.580 That's not this guy is as woke as they get. He is the exact antithesis of what the Republicans

00:21:00.120 believe in, what even the disaffected liberals who voted for Trump, who just, you know,

00:21:04.660 they're not Democrats, they're independents. If they're going to go for a Democrat,

00:21:08.080 they're not going for Tallarico. Tallarico is as woke as they get. He calls God non-binary.

00:21:14.460 He is extremely sacrilegious and heretical. James Tallarico is the guy who refers to women 0.99

00:21:20.940 as people with our neighbors with uteruses. It's not that an independent or Republican can never

00:21:26.480 go for a Democrat. They will never go for this guy, never go for this guy. That's a total lie.

00:21:31.280 So what is the race going to tell you? Tallarico could win this race. He could win this race.

00:21:37.140 I'm not betting that he will, but he could. He's a real threat. But he will not win because

00:21:41.740 disillusioned Trump voters vote for him. That's not what's going to happen. If he wins, he will

00:21:47.020 win because disillusioned Trump voters stay home, because they're upset about the economy,

00:21:51.160 because they're upset about the war in Iran, because they're upset about this, that, or the

00:21:54.080 other thing. It is very possible, especially in the midterm year, first one after the big

00:21:59.800 presidential win. There's historical precedent and historical pressure for those disillusioned

00:22:05.240 Trump voters to stay home, but they will not vote for this guy. So this to me is the test

00:22:09.760 for MAGA in the midterms. And it's very high stakes. Trump owns the GOP. He has just proven

00:22:17.300 his ironclad grip on the GOP because he took out those five Republican legislators in Indiana

00:22:22.920 who turned against him because he took out Bill Cassidy in Louisiana, because he took out Thomas

00:22:27.600 Massey in Kentucky, because he took out Brad Raffensperger in Georgia. The list goes on and

00:22:31.920 on and on. Trump owns the GOP. He has massive approval ratings within the GOP and certainly

00:22:38.920 within MAGA. And the question is, will his low approval ratings with the general population

00:22:44.340 overwhelm that? Will the median voter be so disillusioned by Trump that the people who gave

00:22:53.280 Trump a popular vote victory in 2024 will wipe him out in the midterms? That's the question.

00:22:58.200 But the thing Tallarico is promising that they're all going to flip to him, never going to happen.

00:23:02.520 In some ways, it's worse. Trump has activated an historic coalition. We haven't seen anything like

00:23:08.560 it since Reagan. And maybe it might even be bigger than Reagan, given the polarity of the electorate

00:23:15.140 right now. So the question for the midterms is, will Trump's coalition have really collapsed?

00:23:22.380 Will it have lost its potency? So he's got an ironclad grip, but it's an ironclad grip on a

00:23:27.280 shrinking segment of the electorate. Or is that all fake news from social media ginned up by

00:23:34.820 operatives, domestic and foreign? And does Trump still have his finger on the pulse of the American

00:23:39.220 people? Very worrisome approval rating numbers coming out of the public opinion polls in the

00:23:44.380 US. That's the question. But the one option that you're not going to get is Republicans voting for

00:23:49.760 Tallarica. Never going to happen. If Tallarica wins, it will be because of an implosion,

00:23:54.580 a great diminishing of the size of Trump's coalition. Okay. Now, speaking of Democrats

00:24:00.540 in Congress, Democrat Congress ladies, some pretty prominent ones like Rashida Tlaib are 1.00

00:24:04.180 now openly campaigning, making a federal issue of the fact that they're expected to go to work 1.00

00:24:09.640 when they are menstruating. And I, I'm actually, I'm on their side. There's a lot more to say 0.79

00:24:13.840 first though. Go to goodranchers.com. Use promo code Knowles. One thing I've noticed as I've

00:24:18.020 gotten older is that many of the best memories do not happen during the big events. They happen

00:24:22.420 around a table, a family dinner, a backyard barbecue, everyone hanging around after the

00:24:26.680 meal is over because no one's in a hurry to leave. This is crucial. People ask me this about cigars

00:24:30.800 a lot. When should I have the really nice, special, aged, fancy cigar? Should it be my wedding or this

00:24:36.100 or that? I say, no, no, no. You should have it on a Tuesday night. That's when you're going to be

00:24:39.220 able to focus on it. It's the same thing. And you could do this all the time with your family

00:24:42.540 dinners. That's where the special things happen. And not only will you make special memories

00:24:46.480 talking to your kids, you'll make especially special memories because you'll have delicious

00:24:49.680 meat from good ranchers, which is 100% American meat sourced from American farms and ranches

00:24:59.720 store, what weird stuff it's been injected with. The Good Rancher's meat is all good,

00:25:04.260 nice American stuff, not injected with weirdo chemicals. It's also extremely affordable,

00:25:09.760 and it's the best meat you're going to get. It's not a trifecta, it's a quadfecta. It's

00:25:44.600 or is it something deeper? I sit down with Nathan, a real-life furry, to find out what

00:25:49.120 really happens behind the fursuit. There have been some interviews in recent years as the furry

00:25:53.040 phenomenon has become more of a national issue. But usually they're just kind of making fun of

00:25:58.100 people or it's like a joke or a troll or whatever. I actually want to understand what the furry thing

00:26:03.080 is. I'm curious. I heard about it for the first time when I was a freshman in college and I didn't

00:26:07.500 even understand what people were making the jokes about. So anyway, I sit down for a two-hour

00:26:11.560 interview with a furry. I think we uncover a lot. Here is this teaser. Do you think your life would

00:26:17.600 be better if you were not a furry? 0.96

00:26:20.180 If I wasn't a furry, well, I'd probably be dead.

00:26:23.580 My associate producer, Professor Jacob,

00:26:25.620 he went to a furry convention.

00:26:27.100 And he said that he saw a big STD screening booth.

00:26:31.940 Why do they have an STD booth?

00:26:33.340 There are parties that do happen.

00:26:36.160 It's better to be safe than to be sorry. 0.91

00:26:38.960 Would you take your head off, your fur head off, 0.96

00:26:41.920 tell the world who you really are, or no? 0.96

00:26:43.600 You want to remain anonymous as a furry.

00:26:47.600 watch full episode right now on the michael mills youtube channel for the uncensored ad 1.00

00:26:56.880 free version subscribe to daily wear plus congress ladies are very upset they they are 1.00

00:27:04.640 expected to come to work when they're menstruating you know they're uh they're feeling a little 1.00

00:27:10.520 uncomfortable about five days a month and they're expected to show up to work on those five days so 0.58

00:27:16.620 a gaggle of these women, including Rashida Tlaib, are setting out to change all of that.

00:27:24.380 Every month, I have days where it feels like barbed wire is tightening inside me.

00:27:29.180 I've taken 2,000 milligrams of ibuprofen in 24 hours and still been in tears from the pain.

00:27:35.640 Often end up on the bathroom floor, in the fetal position, crying, moaning, or vomiting.

00:27:41.540 Still, I've put on a blazer and gone to work. I've sat in committee hearings,

00:27:45.860 nauseous from the pain, quietly breathing to make my way through it. I've given speeches at rallies

00:27:51.640 and run town halls while my body was in full revolt. I smiled for photos while silently

00:27:57.560 wondering if I might faint right then and there. In fact, about 15% of women have period pain so

00:28:04.120 debilitating that it disrupts worker school. That is no small number, and yet we are told to suck it 0.99

00:28:10.880 up. It's why during Women's History Month, I've introduced legislation to give workers up to 1.00

00:28:15.780 12 days of paid leave a year for reproductive health this would cover period pain yes but 1.00

00:28:21.440 also menopause symptoms ivf miscarriages endometriosis flare-ups and okay so the woman 1.00

00:28:28.920 she wants a lot of time off because she's a woman because she's a woman and she menstruates and it's 0.98

00:28:34.860 i'm sure it is painful for that week every month she doesn't want to have to go to work 0.98

00:28:40.220 for five for five days a month whatever however many days per year but it's because of this thing

00:28:45.760 that happens five days per month. And so I would say I'm on their side. I'm on their side. I'm on

00:28:50.440 the side of Rashida Tlaib. I'm on the side of the Democrat Congress ladies. But I would go further.

00:28:55.860 I don't think it's enough that we should let these women stay home from work five days a month. I 1.00

00:29:01.620 think we need to, in the interest of equality, gender fairness, we need to go much further.

00:29:06.700 I think these women should be allowed to stay home from work for 30 to 31 days per month, 0.77

00:29:11.640 except in February, where it'd be 28 to 29 days. I think they should. And look, maybe I'm the most 1.00

00:29:16.860 feminist. Maybe I need to get up there and say, you women, you're being misogynistic. Women need 1.00

00:29:22.680 to be allowed to stay home from work every single day of the month. Can you believe this? Yes, 0.99

00:29:28.220 I'm sure you can believe this, you watching this, because you have common sense. But it is so funny.

00:29:34.220 It's so ironic and so predictable that these women, specifically these women, the liberal

00:29:40.060 Democrat women, the feminist liberal Democrat women have been telling us for 60 years, 0.56

00:29:46.220 they've been demanding and whining, saying, please let us go to work. Please let us have 0.99

00:29:52.260 professional jobs. Please let us go to the office. We demand it. And then when they get to do all

00:29:59.960 that, they immediately turn around and they say, stop making us go to work. Why are you making us

00:30:06.500 go to work. For 60 years, it's been misogyny, hatred of women to not tell them to go to work. 1.00

00:30:14.240 And now that we say, okay, go to work, they say, stop. It's misogyny to make us go to work. 0.91

00:30:19.420 Don't you know we're women? Why are you making us show up to the office? Don't you know we're 1.00

00:30:23.640 women? We get cramps. We menstruate. Why are you making us go to work? Hold on. 60 years, 1.00

00:30:29.800 that's what we were saying 60 years ago. And then you told us not to pay attention to that.

00:30:34.400 And now how can, it's, it's kind of like, it's kind of like when you get into a debate or an

00:30:41.680 argument with a woman during precisely that time of the month, it's kind of, it's sort of like

00:30:46.520 that, isn't it? Where there's no, it's not always the most rational debate and some, and you can't 0.88

00:30:51.360 ever win. And you're like always the bad guy. And wow, huh? Funny. If only we had a system,

00:30:57.820 could you imagine if we had this system in society, how fair would this be? How equal

00:31:01.600 what would this be? If we had a system that allowed women to stay home from work all the 1.00

00:31:07.160 time, that allowed women to, because of their biology in part, because of their natural 0.88

00:31:13.420 inclinations, that just allowed, if only we could acknowledge that men and women are different.

00:31:19.220 Like we did for all of human history until the mid to late 1960s. And now those very same women 0.71

00:31:27.380 who demanded that we stop admitting that men and women are different. Now they're demanding we

00:31:31.260 admit that again. Most women don't want to go to work in an office. Women work all the time. 1.00

00:31:38.840 Women work a lot. And probably minute by minute of doing stuff, women maybe work more than men. 1.00

00:31:44.880 Men work more intensely, more publicly at times. Men carry more stress at times,

00:31:51.120 higher intensity of stress. But women probably carry stress more of the time and do work things 0.98

00:31:58.980 more of the time, I would say, if you're managing a home, especially if you're expected to have a 1.00

00:32:03.040 job at the office too. But imagine if we had this system in society where the men could go out and 0.96

00:32:08.460 do the office job, because they don't cramp up once a month unless they go out and eat too many 0.89

00:32:11.760 chicken wings or something like that. And where the men do that, and then the women have different 1.00

00:32:16.840 expectations and can do different things that perhaps they're more naturally inclined to do. 1.00

00:32:21.780 The vast majority of women don't want to work. They don't want to work in an office. They don't 1.00

00:32:26.040 want to work a regular job. And one of the real tragedies of our current economy, which we came

00:32:30.780 about in large part because of feminism, is that now women are expected to work most of the time

00:32:36.140 and in some cases financially kind of have to because our political economy has been transformed 1.00

00:32:40.840 such that it's very difficult to support a family on a single income. But that's a pity. That's a

00:32:45.920 tragedy. That's not progress. This was one thing during the first Trump administration where I say

00:32:50.780 Trump gets it right 98.7% of the time. He gets it right the vast majority of the time. But one of

00:32:55.080 the things that used to rub me the wrong way is when President Trump would tout how we had a

00:32:59.060 record low women's unemployment rate. And I said, well, is that something we should be happy about?

00:33:03.280 That women are now being forced out of the home to work in an office for Mr. McGillicuddy at the 0.95

00:33:07.280 widget factory? I don't think that's a good thing. I get, there are some women who want to work in

00:33:13.520 an office. There's the Lady Thatcher exception. You know, it's a diverse world and vive la difference 1.00

00:33:18.920 as it were, but that's the exception. I work with some of these women. Some women, they really want 1.00

00:33:24.760 to do it. And they're a little bit different and they're really great at it. But the majority of 1.00

00:33:28.140 women don't want to work. They often want the income, but they don't want to work 1.00

00:33:33.400 because they want to stay home and raise their kids because they want to keep home because

00:33:39.700 sometimes they actually do want to cook and maintain a house. I know you're not allowed

00:33:44.680 to say that anymore, but they do because you talk about you're not allowed to say it because

00:33:48.580 sometimes for about five days a month, they're really, really uncomfortable. Democrat Congress

00:33:52.380 ladies get to say that when they're complaining about it, but conservative men are not allowed

00:33:55.820 to say that when we just observe a natural fact. Most women don't actually want to work in an 1.00

00:34:01.900 office. A lot of women are not cut out to work in offices. That's fine. That's good. Men and women 1.00

00:34:07.360 have different virtues. Now that we have the most liberal, feminist, screechy women in America 1.00

00:34:14.220 openly complaining about this fact, can we acknowledge reality and maybe go back to what 1.00

00:34:21.880 worked for all of human history to some degree. Can we at least give women the option of staying 1.00

00:34:28.300 home? Can we transform our political economy in such a way that we get to return to normal 1.00

00:34:32.520 and in so doing restore it, the fundamental political unit, which is the family

00:34:36.340 without which you cannot have a functioning polity, the breakdown of which probably explains

00:34:41.840 90% of our political problems. Can we do that? Are we allowed to do that? Okay. Speaking of

00:34:46.240 staying home. Amazing timing. I'm flying out tomorrow to go for a debate at the Oxford Union.

00:34:54.080 If you're in or around Oxford in the UK, I hope you come out. It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:34:58.100 The resolution is this house believes that Trump has betrayed conservatism. I'll be speaking in

00:35:03.240 the negative on that. It should be a great debate. So I'm about to fly out to the UK.

00:35:06.800 Just as I am preparing to take off, we get word that Hassan Piker, the left-wing streamer who's

00:35:13.480 regularly called for violence against conservatives. He has been banned from the UK. This is an

00:35:18.160 unrelated trip. He wasn't going to go up to the Oxford Union, though I think they hosted him

00:35:21.380 somewhat recently. But he was going to go to the UK to do, I don't know, to whatever, undermine the

00:35:25.600 West, as he usually does. And he's been banned from the UK. And this issue, I think, is really

00:35:31.580 going to separate the men from the boys. By which I mean, it's going to separate the conservatives

00:35:36.420 from the libertarians on how people react to this. We'll get to why Hassan was supposedly banned.

00:35:41.280 First, though, my favorite comment on Friday is from Cornbread Oracle, who says Epstein is not a

00:35:48.020 Trump scandal. It is a Trump smear. There's a difference. I know. Are y'all ready for that?

00:35:52.640 Are you all ready to handle that? I talk about this in my episode on Friday. If you want to

00:35:57.700 catch why this is the case, it's not that there is no Epstein scandal. There certainly is. It

00:36:01.800 started out as a Democrat scandal. It's not that there's no Epstein scandal. It's that the practical

00:36:06.240 effect of Epstein is to be used as a political smear against Trump. And some people on the

00:36:10.400 right or falling for it. Hassan Piker has been banned from the UK. Here is why, according to

00:36:16.180 Hassan wearing his Democratic Socialists of America cap. Dear Hassan Doan Piker, your UK ETA

00:36:22.840 has been canceled. This means you cannot travel to the UK without a visa. This is because your

00:36:27.440 presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good. You cannot appeal

00:36:31.500 this decision. Apply for a visa. If you still want to travel to the UK, you need to apply for a visa

00:36:36.020 so we can consider your circumstances in more detail.

00:36:38.820 Having your ETA canceled does not mean you will be refused a visa.

00:36:43.500 I genuinely, listen, I'm going to say something.

00:36:47.400 This is a warning.

00:36:49.080 I hope you guys understand.

00:36:50.640 The Western world and liberal democracy is a sham.

00:36:53.980 And all of the supposed things that they claim to care about,

00:36:57.080 they do not actually care about.

00:36:58.800 We are moving into a very different timeline, okay?

00:37:02.120 This is why I constantly reiterate that fascism is here.

00:37:06.020 right like the administration trying to deploy subpoenas against political dissidents in the

00:37:10.540 united states of america like him um or or the uk that's like completely captive to the interests of

00:37:17.420 of uh pro-israel advocacy organizations there it is like they are moving in a way uh and this is

00:37:24.920 the liberal government right the labor government is supposed to be the liberal government doing this

00:37:28.720 and the american government is the right-wing government doing it like we are we are in the

00:37:33.280 1930s era. We're in the 1930s era, that famously phylo-Semitic era, the 1930s.

00:37:39.400 Hassan Piker, he gets it right there at the end. He blames Israel. He says, it's because I'm anti-Israel.

00:37:45.100 That is why I've been banned from the UK. Glenn Greenwald, the left-wing journalist who has

00:37:50.300 gotten some play on the right. I never fell for Glenn Greenwald's schtick. Some people on the

00:37:54.960 right fell for Glenn Greenwald for a while. This guy is a left-wing homosexual. He's got a lot of 1.00

00:38:01.720 personal problems we don't need to get into, but very, very left wing. But because he agreed with

00:38:05.700 us one time on like COVID or something, I don't even remember what he agreed with us on. The

00:38:10.300 right started to embrace him. But this guy is about as left wing as they come. Glenn Greenwald

00:38:14.140 comes out. He says, note that the UK government just banned entry of two American citizens,

00:38:18.540 Cenk Uygur. Oh yeah, Cenk Uygur, Hassan Piker's uncle got lumped in with this,

00:38:22.400 which is too bad. I actually have a moderate affection for Cenk Uygur. If I were working

00:38:25.780 for the UK government, I probably would have let him in. Hassan Piker though, he calls for 1.00

00:38:29.100 violence against conservatives. He has broken American federal law and bragged about doing it.

00:38:34.620 He conspires with foreign governments, allegedly, admittedly, I guess we should say. So this guy,

00:38:39.760 he's no, I would definitely would have banned Hassan Piker. I think he should be in prison.

00:38:42.560 His uncle, I might've let off the hook. He's a sort of entertaining lib. But in any case,

00:38:46.700 Glenn Greenwald says the UK government just banned the entry of two American citizens,

00:38:49.280 including Hassan Piker, not because they criticized or worked against the entrance

00:38:53.560 of the UK. It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and

00:38:58.080 off limits in the UK and so many other Western countries, Israel. Folks, you know, I have a

00:39:03.700 pretty moderate view on Israel, which is the least popular view. That's why I take attacks from both 0.93

00:39:08.780 sides on it because it's the moderate and sensible and common sense view, which is the one view you're

00:39:14.340 not allowed to have. Point out, I'm not a Zionist by any religious or ideological standard, but I'm

00:39:19.760 not one of these like Keffiyeh people with Greta Thunberg, you know, marching for Gaza, you know,

00:39:25.420 river to the sea, whatever, which is all left-wing nonsense anyway. And in any case, I think that

00:39:30.880 there are legitimate rights of Palestinian Arabs that need to be protected, especially the Christian

00:39:34.160 population. So in that way, Israel needs to be restrained. Anyway, I have this very moderate

00:39:37.980 view, which is the one view you're not allowed to have. It's the view that requires you to have

00:39:43.120 the most moral clarity on the issue at all, and it's always punished. But in any case,

00:39:48.640 enough of my soapbox. I can't help but point out here, as Glenn Greenwald and Hassan Piker

00:39:55.220 are trying to blame all of this on Israel. The U.K. currently bans two senior members of the

00:40:01.680 Israeli government from the U.K. So it's because the U.K. is totally captive to the pro-Israel

00:40:07.560 interests. That's why they're banning Hassan Piker and two senior members of the Israeli

00:40:12.920 government because they're so pro-Israel. Hold on. The finance minister and the national security

00:40:17.260 minister, Bezalel Smotrich, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly, and Itamar Ben-Gavir

00:40:22.700 are both banned from the UK. The UK has further gone out and said that if Benjamin Netanyahu

00:40:27.180 sets foot on British soil, he will be arrested for war crimes because the ICC is trying to arrest

00:40:34.460 him. You're telling me that the way to explain why Hassan Piker is not going there is because he's

00:40:39.560 anti-Israel and the UK is so slavishly pro-Israel that it would ban multiple senior members of the

00:40:46.260 Israeli government? Give me a break. The UK just banned Valentina Gomez. Valentina Gomez,

00:40:50.860 who is this kind of eccentric, right-wing political influencer. She's run for office 1.00

00:40:55.580 once or twice. She is exceedingly pro-Israel. She filmed a video where she was eating popcorn

00:41:01.280 watching Israel bomb Gaza. It's just not, whatever you think about Israel, it is simply not the case

00:41:08.400 that you can explain this ban solely by saying that Hassan Piker is anti-Israel. It just doesn't

00:41:13.820 explain it. Because it doesn't explain the bannings of the Israeli politicians or Valentina Gomez,

00:41:18.140 who's a super duper extra mega Zionist. Do you know why the UK banned Hassan Piker? 0.80

00:41:26.540 Because he's not good for their country. It's not good to have him. He doesn't benefit them

00:41:33.100 by his presence. He's a bad dude. We don't want him. That's what they said. They said,

00:41:40.300 he's a bad dude. We don't want him. He's not good for us. So he's not coming in.

00:41:44.120 And guess what? That's very sensible. Guess what? We should learn from that.

00:41:52.420 And I guess we are learning from that in the sense that we are now sending out subpoenas to Hassan

00:41:57.340 Piker because he has admitted to federal crimes on air multiple times. That's good. I wish we

00:42:03.580 would move even faster. This one is going to separate the conservatives from the libertarians

00:42:11.760 and the classical liberals. Some who say, we know, no, we need total free speech. First of all,

00:42:16.840 first of all, the kind of speech, quote unquote, that Hassan Piker engages in is not even protected

00:42:22.480 by the First Amendment. There's no First Amendment in the UK. There's no free speech in the UK.

00:42:25.520 But even by the standards of the American First Amendment, the American free speech tradition,

00:42:29.700 the sulfurous belches that come out of Hassan Piker's mouth are not protected speech. He calls

00:42:35.200 for the murder of Republican senators and other conservatives. He conspires with foreign government.

00:42:42.240 He breaks federal law. 0.70

00:42:43.620 None of that is protected by the First Amendment.

00:42:46.780 James Madison would have no problem sending Hassan Piker to jail.

00:42:49.960 But certainly, we wouldn't want a guy like this in our country.

00:42:54.060 The only reason he's allowed in our country is because he's an anchor baby who grew up overseas.

00:42:57.820 And then because of a flaw in our jurisprudence, we had to let him back in.

00:43:01.780 But this is an important lesson. 1.00

00:43:03.360 All the UK is saying is, oh, this foreigner, he's not good for us. 1.00

00:43:07.200 So why would we let him in? 0.97

00:43:09.380 You can't even reduce it to one issue.

00:43:11.140 Israel this that or the other thing by their own actions you can tell that's not so they're just

00:43:16.560 saying this guy's not good for us we don't want him in that should be our standard too we have 0.92

00:43:20.860 let 70 million people come into our country over the last 65 years largest movement people in the

00:43:25.720 history of the world in recorded history certainly and we've done it because we we feel handcuffed 0.96

00:43:32.800 by some stupid liberal principles that that aren't correct if people aren't good for our country we 0.97

00:43:39.860 shouldn't let him in. Good lesson. Good lesson from the motherland. I love this. It's also funny 1.00

00:43:44.580 on the Israel issue. I decided to test this theory last night because people have, getting back to

00:43:49.540 the sort of moderate, sensible position on Israel-Palestine, I say, it's a complex issue.

00:43:53.400 It's a nuanced issue, you know, and that's the one view you're not allowed to have. So last night,

00:43:56.920 I just post on Twitter. I say, hey, hey, what's everyone think about Israel? You know, my UK trip,

00:44:02.840 it's going to be expensive. I need to get that engagement up. I got to get those Twitter bucks.

00:44:06.120 what's everyone think about Israel? So it's an obvious troll. It's just like a joke. I wake up 0.57

00:44:10.860 this morning, 3000 comments, 3000 replies to an, to obvious bait. By the time I get to work,

00:44:18.080 it's 3,200. So anyway, I've decided I'm going to try this on YouTube too. What do you think

00:44:22.220 about Israel? Hey guys, all the, everyone watching on YouTube right now, what do you think about

00:44:26.180 Israel? I get that engagement up. What do you think about Israel? Do you like, do you like it

00:44:32.080 or not like it? What? Is it controversial or something? What do you think? One thing I'll

00:44:37.280 tell you is your views on it are not going to be the chief reason you're banned from the UK.

00:44:40.260 Okay. One story before we go. A little bit more of a serious story. A father has gone viral for

00:44:46.080 testimony that actually took place a little while ago when he was screaming at Democrats over his

00:44:50.620 father's murder. And this has prompted some Republican legislators in South Carolina to

00:44:54.520 announce something called Logan's Law. This was announced at a press conference at the Myrtle

00:44:58.660 Beach, Police Department Annex, Myrtle Beach, last Wednesday. What is the law in response to?

00:45:04.860 It's in response to this. Think about your child coming home from a night out with their friends,

00:45:11.260 laying down, going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and wake them

00:45:17.380 and drag her out of bed naked, forced on her knees with her hands over her head.

00:45:28.660 begging for her life,

00:45:32.380 begging for her hero,

00:45:34.440 her father,

00:45:35.720 me,

00:45:36.900 that couldn't be there. 0.98

00:45:39.100 She was 5'3", 0.99

00:45:40.420 she weighed 115 pounds. 1.00

00:45:44.800 Bang! 1.00

00:45:47.500 Dead.

00:45:49.720 Gone.

00:45:51.380 Why?

00:45:52.680 Because Alexander Devontae Dickey,

00:45:55.680 who was arrested 39...

00:45:58.660 times 25 felonies was on the street. How about that? How good are we doing for our family?

00:46:12.020 How good are you doing for your kids? He should have been in jail for over 140 years for all

00:46:19.400 the crimes he committed. You know how much time he spent in prison? A little over 600

00:46:25.920 days in 10 years. He's only 30 years old. He was committing 2.65 crimes a year since he was 15

00:46:35.700 years old, but nobody could figure out that he couldn't be rehabilitated. Well, you'd have to

00:46:42.660 put him in prison to see if he could be rehabilitated. Isn't that the idea of prison?

00:46:49.360 It's a poor guy. Your heart breaks for the father, obviously for the poor girl who was murdered.

00:46:53.140 39 times 39 times this guy was arrested he barely serves time in prison it's not it's not that a

00:47:02.980 terrible crime took place it because crimes are going to take place because it's a fallen world

00:47:07.900 it's not it's not that we're asking for perfection it's not that we're asking for utopia

00:47:11.360 but this was so preventable it was 39 times preventable and left-wing politicians refuse

00:47:19.920 to do it. They gum up the works because they're always on the side of the criminals. And so

00:47:23.840 the criminals go out and they just execute young girls like this. And this reminds me of something

00:47:30.220 about politics, which is that politics is actually very, very simple. Politics is so simple. It's not

00:47:35.500 brain surgery. It's not philosophy. It's not anything complex. It's not easy always to

00:47:42.560 affect political solutions. That could be hard, but it's very, very simple. Voters want three

00:47:47.460 numbers to go up. Voters want the economic numbers to go up, the deportation numbers to go up,

00:47:53.860 and the incarceration numbers to go up. This is the secret recipe for any Republican politician.

00:47:58.380 I'm just doling out tried and true advice for free. Hard to affect sometimes, but easy to

00:48:06.700 diagnose, at least if you're not totally insane. We want three numbers to go up. The economic numbers,

00:48:13.020 the deportation numbers

00:48:14.780 and the incarceration numbers.

00:48:17.240 If you run a campaign

00:48:18.880 and you can point

00:48:19.640 if you have a credible plan

00:48:20.820 to do that

00:48:21.280 or you have a record

00:48:22.300 of having done that

00:48:23.100 you will win 150% of the vote.

00:48:26.020 That's what it's about.

00:48:27.100 There are a lot of ancillary issues

00:48:28.400 that are just kind of nonsense

00:48:29.840 that people

00:48:30.680 don't really motivate people

00:48:32.100 that are, you know

00:48:33.840 even some of the

00:48:35.020 more social issues

00:48:36.220 sometimes they motivate people 1.00

00:48:37.200 the trans one worked 0.99

00:48:38.160 a couple years ago

00:48:39.800 but even the abortion issue

00:48:41.120 doesn't motivate people

00:48:42.060 all that much

00:48:42.780 unfortunately. Foreign policies, people on the internet feel very strongly about foreign policy,

00:48:47.060 doesn't really motivate voters much at all. Occasionally, the 2006 election, maybe, you know,

00:48:52.280 the Iraq war was at its peak, but otherwise that doesn't really motivate people. Simple stuff.

00:48:57.980 People want to be able to afford to have a good life for their material needs. They don't want

00:49:04.840 foreigners raping our constitutional system of government, making a mockery of our sovereignty. 0.95

00:49:10.220 and they don't want criminals 1.00

00:49:12.920 murdering our family members.

00:49:14.640 That's basically it. 0.98

00:49:16.300 If you can do those things,

00:49:17.940 you will reign for 10,000 years.
